title: Purification of rabbit bone morphogenetic protein derived from bone, dentin, and wound tissue after tooth extraction.
abstract: Bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) was extracted from bone matrix, dentin matrix, and wound tissue after tooth extraction in rabbits, and purified. These purified fractions were shown to be homogeneous by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide slab gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE), and induced new bone in situ in 3 weeks when implanted into the calf muscles of Wistar rats. The dentin matrix-derived BMP was different from the other two types in molecular weight and the properties revealed in the process of purification. However, each tissue-derived BMP was shown to induce new bone growth in a bioassay of xenogenic implantation. For this reason, BMP is thought to have subunits with certain commonalities in different tissue.
